Trump is only G7 leader not to hold press conference after summit

[spanone]

President Trump was one of the only world leaders to leave the G-20 summit without holding a full press conference.

Trump on Saturday departed Hamburg, Germany, for Washington after the close of the three-day summit of the world’s top political leaders.

As first noted by CNN, Trump did not hold a full news conference at the end of the event, while other top world leaders did.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said at his Saturday press conference that he thinks Trump believed his assurances that Russia did not interfere in last year’s U.S. election.

1. He knew he blew it, just wanted to get the hell out of there..n/t

2. That's very telling.

He is simply not up to taking questions from the media in an uncontrolled setting. He can't really answer such questions off the cuff, so press conferences are a danger zone for PINO Trump.

3. What would he say?

"I didn't know where I was"

4. He also didn't issue any comments in flight

I assume some press was on AF1.

He only responded via Twitter, where he couldn't be questioned.

Another huge fault of tRump, he is a major coward.

5. Well to be fair

If you weren't elected by the people, are you accountable to them?

6. Well, naturally

The rest of them had at last a slight idea of what was going on.
